Those of you unable to attend the meeting last May in St. Paul missed an exceptional opportunity to hear about and discuss new insights into a wide variety of issues, including increased genetic understanding, behavioral differences in species, advances in conservation technology and captive husbandry, and improved measures of contaminant sensitivity. FMCS developed, in part, because other professional societies addressing freshwater invertebrate biology and conservation failed to recognize the unique challenges involved in insuring that the diversity of freshwater mollusks in North America persists. To many outside of our Society, including many in resource management and regulatory agencies, these animals are simply mussels, clams, or snails. The research that is occurring and the results that were presented in St. Paul continue to elucidate how important understanding even subtle differences can be in developing effective conservation strategies. Numerous people approached me in St. Paul to express their appreciation of the effort the meeting organizers put into developing a professional, informative meeting. I again want to thank Kurt Welke for taking the lead in organizing this meeting, and again recognize the effort and time the other organizers contributed. The exchange of information and education regarding freshwater mollusk conservation are among the primary missions of FMCS, along with advocating mollusk conservation, promoting science-based management decisions, and facilitating the National Strategy for the Conservation of Native Freshwater Mussels. We accomplish these goals through symposia and workshops on alternating years, the publication of Ellipsaria, occasionally promoting more substantial publications, and, we hope in the near future, with the publication of a professional journal. At the last Board meeting, we agreed to review the National Strategy and update the tasks to keep the document relevant. If you have thoughts you would like to have considered in a revised National Strategy, I ask that you send them to me or to one of the Committee Chairs. The goals of the Society are primarily accomplished by the nine standing Committees. These Committees identify issues and opportunities to advance mollusk conservation, and their success depends on members sharing their talents. Ours is a voluntary society – accomplishments are achieved solely by the time and efforts donated by our members. The ability to commit time to a particular issue is at the member's discretion and can be substantial or relatively minor, but is always important. Those who have been in FMCS for a few years may have noticed a core of a relatively few people serving on the board, although our by-laws are designed to keep membership rotating through these positions. There are many opportunities for you to lend your experience and passion to help meet the Society's goals. I encourage every Society member to become involved with the committees that interest you by contacting the appropriate Committee Chair. This issue of Ellipsaria should reach most you in toward the end of the field season – I hope your summer has been safe and productive. Bob Anderson, FMCS President 1 A presentation was made to the membership about Little Rock, Arkansas that was put together by the convention and FMCS Reports visitors bureau. Bids have been received from the Peabody Hotel, Doubletree Hotel and the Wyndham Riverfront. Bids have been presented to the board for review and evaluation.

(Mollusca: Gastropoda) Deniz AKŞİT*, Beria FALAKALI MUTAF Akdeniz University, Faculty of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries, Dumlupınar Bulvarı, 07059 Antalya - TURKEY Received: 17.07.2009 Abstract: Gross morphology of the gill was studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to associate it with its function in genus Patella. Secondary gills consisted of a single layer of gill folds, which appear mostly as triangular leafl ets in scanning electron micrographs. Th e lamellae showed a prominent thickening on the free margin and horizontal swellings, which bear a series of ciliary structures on the frontal surface, as well as disperse bunches. Th ey diff ered from the discocilia and, because chemoreception has been attributed to them in the absence of an osphradium, they are thought to contribute to the primary respiratory role of the gills. Th ese morphological characteristics are to be researched further, both in natural and experimental specimens of this genus. Key words: Patella, gill, SEM, ciliary structures Patella caerulea L.

Pazilov* and Farrukh U. Umarov** * Department of Biology, Gulistan State University, Gulistan, Uzbekistan. **Department of Ecology and Botany, Andijan State University, Andijan Uzbekistan. **Corresponding author: [email protected] Received Date: 17 April 2021, Accepted Date: 20 May 2021, Published Date: 20 Jun 2021 ABSTRACT This study examines the species composition, biodiversity, zoogeography, and ecology of freshwater gastropods of 12 springs in Andijan region of Uzbekistan. The study used generally accepted malacological, faunistic, ecological, analytical, and statistical methods. As a result of research in the springs, 14 species of freshwater gastropods belonging to 2 subclasses, 5 families, and 10 genera were recorded. 7 of them are endemic to Central Asia. When indicators of biodiversity of mollusks were analyzed according to the Shannon index, it was found that the highest value was recorded in the springs besides the hills. According to the biotope of distribution and bioecological features, they were divided into cryophilic, phytophilic, pelophilic, and eurybiontic ecological groups. The mollusks, which are common in the springs, were divided into 3 groups according to their faunal similarity. The contribution of the Central Asian and European-Siberian species to the formation of the malacofauna in the springs of the Andijan region was significant. Keywords: Andijan, Biodiversity, Ecology, Freshwater Gastropods, Spring. INTRODUCTION Springs are one of the water basins in need of protection, because they were separated from the water basins, and allowed for the emergence of rare and endemic species; one of the most common organisms among them is Mollusca group (Izzatullayev et al., 2013).

  • Patellid Limpets: an Overview of the Biology and Conservation of Keystone Species of the Rocky Shores
    Chapter 4 Patellid Limpets: An Overview of the Biology and Conservation of Keystone Species of the Rocky Shores Paulo Henriques, João Delgado and Ricardo Sousa Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/67862 Abstract This work reviews a broad spectrum of subjects associated to Patellid limpets’ biology such as growth, reproduction, and recruitment, also the consequences of commercial exploitation on the stocks and the effects of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the biology and populational dynamics of these intertidal grazers. Knowledge of limpets’ biological traits plays an important role in providing proper background for their effective man- agement. This chapter focuses on determining the effect of biotic and abiotic factors that influence these biological characteristics and associated geographical patterns. Human exploitation of limpets is one of the main causes of disturbance in the intertidal ecosys- tem and has occurred since prehistorical times resulting in direct and indirect alterations in the abundance and size structure of the target populations. The implementation of MPAs has been shown to result in greater biomass, abundance, and size of limpets and to counter other negative anthropogenic effects. However, inefficient planning and lack of surveillance hinder the accomplishment of the conservation purpose of MPAs. Inclusive conservation approaches involving all the stakeholders could guarantee future success of conservation strategies and sustainable exploitation. This review also aims to estab- lish how beneficial MPAs are in enhancing recruitment and yield of adjacent exploited populations. Keywords: Patellidae, limpets, fisheries, MPAs, conservation 1.

Составлен аннотированный список пресноводных брюхоногих моллюсков семейства Planorbidae Государственного природного заповедника «Азас» и прилегающей территории Тоджинской котловины Республики Тыва. Список основан на оригинальных данных. Для каждого вида в списке приведены сведения по распространению и экологии, и для некоторых видов – номен- клатурные замечания. Основу фауны планорбид составляют виды с палеарктическим типом распространения (45 %), на долю сибирских видов приходится 30 %. FRESHWATER MOLLUSCAN FAUNA (MOLLUSCA, GASTROPODA, PLANORBIDAE) OF BII-KHEM RIVER (UPPER ENISEY BASIN) M.О. Sharyi-ool Institute of Biology and Soil Sciences, Russian Academy of Sciences, Far East Branch, 100 let Vladivostoku Avenue 159, Vladivostok, 690022 Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Gastropod molluscan fauna (Planorbidae) of Bii-Khem River (upper Enisey basin) includes 20 species of 2 genera. An annotated checklist of the freshwater molluscan fauna of Planorbidae of Azas State Natural Reserve and adjacent territories of Todzha Hollow, Tuva Republic is presented. This checklist is based primarily on original data. The data on distribution and ecology and some nomenclatural notes are given. Most recorded species (45 %) are Palaearctic and 30 % of all species have Siberian distribution. Введение Несмотря на длительную историю изучения пресноводной малакофауны Восточной Сибири и бассейна Енисея (Middendorff, 1851; Maack, 1854; Westerlund, 1876a, 1876b, 1885) самый верхний участок на территории Тувы недостаточно исследован.

  • Patellogastropod Molluscs Support Multiple Invasions of Deep Sea Habitats
    240 Patellogastropod Molluscs Support Multiple Invasions of Deep Sea Habitats LINDBERG, David R.; GURALNICK*, Robert; HEDEGf\ARD, Claus, Dept. of Integrative Biology & Museum ofPaleontolobJ]', University ofCalifomia, Berkeley, CA 94720, U.S.A.; JACOBS, David, Dept. ofBiology, University ofCalifomia, Los Angeles, CA 90095, U.S.A. The Patellogastropoda are the most primitive of all Gastropoda based on both morphological and molecular data. Moreover, they are almost exclusively an intertidal and shallow water group. Over 90% ofthe species are found in 33 m or less. Patellogastropod characters are well known and have been sufficiently studied so that autapomorphies are unlikely to deeply masked relationships. Moreover, shell structure, preserved in both fossil and Recent taxa, is character rich and ecologically invariant. Patellogastropods are the sister taxon of all other gastropods and are therefore assumed to be an ancient lineage. Four patellogastropod taxa have representatives in the deep sea.. Patellogastropod taxa at vents and seeps have been previously argued to have ridden vents down from shallow water habitats or are evidence of immigration and colonization from shallow water habitats (onshore - offshore model). Vent fauna could also be aggregates ofsome 'old' shallow water things that rode the vents down, and colonization from both deep sea and shallow water habitats. It is difficult to test different alternative hypothesis. Arguments for antiquity of patellogastropods in the deep sea are often based on fossil occurrences of taxonomically similar taxa. This similarity not rigorously tested to determine whether or not it reflects relatedness. Most taxonomies, especially for fossil and living marine invertebrates, do not, but instead have been based on comparison of shell morphologies between fossil and living gastropods.
